WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gorman Health Group, LLC (GHG), the leading consulting firm and solutions provider in government health care programs, announced its annual client forum April 7-9, 2015, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center just outside Washington, DC. This event features the most renowned topic experts and industry pioneers, who share advice on key issues related to strategy, operations, quality improvement, Star Ratings, risk adjustment, and compliance, as well as what to expect in 2016 and beyond in the government health care industry.

This exclusive event will provide an intensive cross-functional examination of the state of government health care programs to support health plans, providers, and their business partners; exploring new opportunities in the health insurance exchanges, the dual eligible and Medicaid populations; as well as focus on the continued growth of the Medicare Advantage and Part D markets.

"Government programs are the sole source of growth for insurers and providers, and present unique policy and regulatory challenges. Only those organizations ready and able to adapt and swiftly implement an integrated approach to complex, chronically ill beneficiaries will succeed," said John Gorman, Founder and Executive Chairman of Gorman Health Group. "Nailing a sound strategy, and the nuts and bolts to implement it, is where this event comes in."

Led by GHG's subject matter experts and innovative leaders from health plans across the country, attendees can expect timely, actionable advice on the trends shaping health care from notable speakers, including eminent Barclay's analyst, Joshua Raskin, and regulatory guidance directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

"With the challenges faced by health plans and providers today — from increased government regulation to soaring administrative, medical and pharmaceutical costs — a focus on what's unique about managing these programs is an absolute necessity," continued Gorman. "Our annual forum brings long-term, data-driven survival tactics within reach."
